Miniaturization of Thermoacoustic Expander for 50 mW Recuperative Coolers Run Below 40 K
SBC: CRYOWAVE ADVANCED TECHNOLGIES INC Topic: MDA06023The objective of this project is to develop a novel expander that can increase the efficiency of cryocoolers for IR sensors at very low temperatures and in remote cooling and across gimbal applications. Miniature Thermoacoustic Expanders (MTAE) that employ high energy acoustic waves generated with no moving parts at the cold expander to produce efficient cooling over a wide range of temperatures a ...

Passivation Technologies for Improved Operability in HgCdTe Focal Plane Arrays
SBC: AMETHYST RESEARCH INC Topic: MDA06025High-performance infrared detectors are mission-critical components of each layer of the Ballistic Missile Defense System. MDA is investing heavily in technologies that enhance producibility/operability of LWIR/VLWIR infrared focal plane arrays (FPAs), and reduce BMDS life cycle costs. HgCdTe is clearly the material of choice for these IRFPAs, but presents numerous challenges, including trap-assis ...

Adaptive Distributed Aperture Radar Mainlobe Jammer Suppression
SBC: Applied Radar, Inc. Topic: MDA07037The mitigation of mainlobe jamming is essential to missile defense radar performance. Applied Radar is currently investigating distributed aperture and adaptive processing architectures that promise a new generation of advanced radar performance. Our proposed program will research the application of these distributed aperture radar techniques to determine the mainlobe jammer suppression possible w ...

Advanced Phased-Array Module Interconnect Technology
SBC: Applied Radar, Inc. Topic: MDA07036The design and development of phased-array radars requires the integration of solid-state components and adequate thermal mitigation within the array lattice constraints. The current trend is towards increasingly planar designs and a reduction in the array depth. The MDA SPEAR program is one example in which a planar T/R “tile” architecture is utilized. System-on-a-chip technologies such as Si ...

Defect Mapping of Wafers for Increasing Yield and Operability of Infrared Focal Plane Arrays
SBC: AMETHYST RESEARCH INC Topic: MDA07026The yield and operability of high performance infrared detectors, particularly those based on HgCdTe, are severely compromised by materials defects. Recently, ARI has demonstrated during its UV hydrogenation process that deuterium effectively ‘decorates’ defects in materials such as ZnCdTe and HgCdTe. In essence, the distribution of deuterium in the sample directly ‘maps’ defects in the ...

DGPS-Based Trilateration Positioning Receiver
SBC: Swaszek Peter Topic: 07FH1Positioning and navigation have become a mainstay of everyday life in the U.S.; applications of interest include navigation of vehicles of all kinds, infrastructure mapping, and safety of life systems. Many of these recent applications have become possible through the GPS. With the recognized vulnerabilities of GPS, it is evident that equivalent backup systems must be developed. One possible so ...

OCEAN WAVE ENERGY CONVERTER
SBC: Ocean Wave Energy Co Topic: N/AMAJOR AIDS TO NAVIGATION (ATON) ARE ESSENTIAL SIGNPOSTS FOR SAFE PASSAGE ALONG COASTAL AND OFFSHORE SEAWAYS. PRESENTLY, THEIR SIGNALS ARE POWERED BY ON-SITE ENGINE GENERATORS REQUIRING CONSIDERABLE AND COSTLY MAINTENANCE. ATON AUTONOMY WILL BE GREATLY INCREASED WITH DEEP DISCHARGE BATTERY TECHNOLOGY PROVIDING THAT ON-SITE CHARGING SOURCES ARE USED. AMONG NATURALLY AVAILABLE SOURCES, THE UNCEASING ...
